There’s a run on Trump Wine, with stores in the Washington region selling out of bottles bearing the president’s name.

Mike Mackie, co-owner of The Wine Cabinet in Reston, Va., says the brand is flying off his store shelves quicker than he can restock it for multiple reasons.

That can’t be. Everyone in the Beltway hates President Trump with a passion. Just ask any reporter you run into.

...”for multiple reasons”?!

could it be that people are buying it to make up for the a-holes who dumped Ivanka’s clothing? To simply show support? Because they like it?

Is it a righteous purchase or are they clowns that want to portray Trump is 'whining?'

Has anyone seen his wine? What varietal is it?

President Trump never consumes alcohol. It is a little odd that he sells it. How does he know if it is any good?

It is under Eric’s name. Maybe the kids try it out.

He’s a picky perfectionist who hires very knowledgable people to sweat the details for him, and he holds them to account. Not a doubt in my mind, that it’s more than just decent. That’s just the way he rolls.

Or because he’s president now, they hope the bottles will be very valuable some day.

I have seen it on TV during one of his earlier candidate videos showing his products. He provides it in his hotels.

He is really selling his name on the label.

He’s got the best, the absolute top people to taste it for him. Big league.

The world outside the beltway has pockets of sanity.

I think the wine is his son's gig. The vodka was his, so your observation would apply to that as well.

Regarding Trump steaks, the man eats his steak well done. I imagine someone else sources the product. The Trump water is pedestrian gas station convenience store grade. In some cases he simply licenses he name, and has little input to the final product.

I think Jr. is in charge of the winery.

I had a bottle of mertiage during inauguration dinner. I was presently surprised. It was a great wine, one of the best wines, slight orange undertones and it had me wanting more after it was gone. Hands down a winning wine.

I’ve been to Trump Winery and live in VA. Most VA wines suck compared to Australian, California wines IMO. Trump has a great port called CRU. Strong though. 18%. His Cab is so so. Chardonnay is ok.
